Dorothea Dix


Dorothea Lynde Dix was and important person because she accomplished a lot in her life. At first she was a teacher then she was a social reformer for the treatment of the mentally ill. She had a good effect on the childred that she was a teacher for. And im sure they apreciated her being such a great person. Also by all thoes that were mentally ill. She had a great effect on the world, by maybe showing others to follow in her footsteps. The adjitives i would use to describe Dorothea would be brave, loving, happy, smart, and responsible. The things that she did during her life not manny do. ike being a teacher, not that manny people want to grow up and be a teacher. Also by giving treatment to the mentally ill, i sure know if that was me i would not do that. The events that have changed Dorothea's life is when she was really small, her familly by the age of 12 she hade allredy have to take full car of her little brothers. She took risk's by taking car of her brothers a such a young age, and having to get a job at that age and take good care of her brothers.

If Dorothea did not live she wouldent of made a effect on little kids life, when she was a teacher. Lots of people would have not followed in her footsteps. And if she did not live i would not be doing this web project on her right now. We could learn a lot from peoples actions. We could learn more about them, if they were mean and hate full they would have an additude with every one. Or if they were nice and loving, they would take there time, and do every thing the right way.
